If you love to keep your nails looking fresh and fabulous, you'll know that colour trends change just like the seasons.

If you're a professional nail artist or just love doing your own nails at home, keeping up with what's in style will keep your designs looking current and exciting. Plus, it's the perfect excuse to try something new and add a bit of sparkle while you're at it!
Why Following Nail Colour Trends is Important
Nail art is a brilliant way to show off your personality and stay on top of fashion. From catwalks to Instagram feeds, colour trends help shape what clients ask for in the salon or what you'll want to try yourself. Following the latest colours keeps your nail art looking fresh, modern and guaranteed to turn heads.
If you're a nail tech, offering trending colours in gels and nail rhinestones keeps your clients coming back for more – they know they can trust you to keep their nails looking the part every season.
How Colour Trends Change with the Seasons
Like clothes and make-up, nail trends change with the weather. Spring often brings pastels and floral shades, summer is for brights and bold colours, or elegant bridal designs. Autumn welcomes warm, cosy tones and winter usually brings deeper, richer shades with plenty of festive sparkle. Each of these colour palettes have nail gems to compliment them, and just like nail gel colours, seasonal trends can be found in the crystal embellishments too!
Staying in tune with these shifts means your nail art will always feel up to date and in step with the latest looks.
Why Colour Trends Matter So Much in Nail Art
Nails might be a small detail, but they can make a big statement. A pop of colour can brighten up an outfit and show off your style without having to make a huge change. Many people love using nails to try out colours they might not be brave enough to wear as clothing – so it's the perfect way to experiment! Trends in rhinestone nail art are also always changing, whether it's a new crystal shape that everyone's after, or an innovative design that's gone viral, keeping up to date with what's hot in the nail art world is a must for nail techs.
